Leveling Up the Senior Leadership Team with Seth Kahan

05/10/17 • 54 min

In business, when they say there is no “I in team” your eyes probably roll. But if you are the CEO, how do you make sure your senior leadership team is helping and not hurting your organization? And if you are part of that team, how do you keep an eye on improvement so that you can level up? In this episode I ask Seth Kahan (CEO of Visionary Leadership) these questions and so many more...and he answers them. Some of his answers still have me thinking and I bet they will for you, too.

Association Chat and Orca Penis: My Chat with Photographer Chuck Fazio

For this episode, I talked with the entertaining and enigmatic Chuck Fazio for the Association Chat episode, "Being Chuck Fazio - Photographer & Instigator, on Life, Art, and the Meetings Industry Fund."

A few questions we received for Chuck:

"How did you reinvent yourself (you weren't always a photographer, were you) and hone your craft? What were the top three lessons learned along the way?"

"Chuck has had and continues to have many successes in a variety of different worlds. How much of it was jumping in with both feet, and how much was from meticulous planning?"

"Professional: any lessons learned about hosting place-based education programs / study tours? Personal: if I am obsessed with taking amateur photos of food (and drinks) as a hobbyist, what's the best way to up my game?"
